K K Ka Karma

Several years ago, close to twenty years ago. My sister got this lovely mermaid doll for Christmas. She loved the doll and every time you would squeeze it, it would sing..ah ah ahhhh! It was a beautiful sound for a five year old. But for my brother and I it was total annoyance. It was so loud and after hearing it sing all day and night for several days. We decided something needed to be done, so we carefully removed the battery. For a couple hours we had peace and quiet again. Although it didn't take long for Lindsey to figure it out and with the help of my parents the battery was replaced. So again we heard the irritating ahh ahhh ahhhh. After several weeks of this, Ryan and I decided to end the sound once and for all. With a pair of cheap scissors we took the mermaid and clipped the wires and told Lindsey that the doll was broken. Well this did not go over well.. she cried and cried and for years we never told her that we were responsible for the loss. She has never forgiven us even 20 years later. Every year at Christmas time we are reminded of how cruel we were. This year we were reminded again of how horrible we were to our sister and our "little girls" were given matching gifts from Aunt Lindsey....




The dreaded doll was Jordan and Kambree's to take home. After bidding for months on Ebay and paying far to much, Lindsey was able to find three of the magic mermaid dolls one for Jordan, one for Kambree and one for her! She knew that there was no way we would deny our girls of the doll. Jordan loves the mermaid and so does Kambree. I guess you have to be careful, karma comes around and bites you hard!
